I wanna go fishing but this 111 degree heat index will make a grown man cry.. I ain’t built for this.. I’m built for comfort not speed.. if you see a fat white guy on a kayak in nothing but a speedo mind your business I got things to do!!!!

Now that I have had a chance to rest a little and run through the mental gymnastics of evaluating my decisions from this most recent tournament, I thought I'd share what felt like a weekend with the Bad News Bears. Tournament recap from Clark's Hill BFL (THE BLOOPER REEL). I typed out a much longer version and decided to keep it shortish.
Lost trolling motor prop.
Blew a fuse for all electronics on the bow.
Co-angler hit me in the face with his fishing rod while I was trying to net his fish. Which he let get off.
Broke a rod.
Lost a $$$ glide bait on the 2nd cast ever with it.
Even with those fun anecdotes, I had a great experience.

On a point in the weeds. This guy missed it 3 times before just hammering the frog. (Insert Bobby Berrick sounds effects here).

Correct if I’m wrong, but to my understanding the only you can be allowed into ICAST is if you invite by a company. Is this correct?

Didn’t have the best day on Russell yesterday. They pumped water up to Hartwell so all my bank grass was pretty dry. I looked for my fish but just couldn’t put it together. Dropshot and swing jig on rock and marker poles. Caught a multitude of 8”-11” spots, lost two that would have helped and ended up with a bag of four. I spent to much time looking for wet bank grass, should have abandoned that sooner. Middle of the pack finish. PS it was bright sunny and hot AF. I struggled, I finished, I survived chalk it all up to the memory banks and learn from it. One good anchor fish on dropshot in 20’ on marker pole.

This was a rewarding experience. Reelfoot lake is one of the most beautiful fisheries, but it can be so difficult to bass fish. I fished for 10 hours yesterday and only got one bite. I used that bite to target “something different” and it paid off this morning.
